California sues Brazilian Blowout Company

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Brazilian Blowout manufacturer GIB LLC’s claims that their products were completely safe and formaldehyde free have been proved false by tests. The hair straightening treatment left hair unusually smooth and beautiful and had become the choice of many women.

Formaldehyde is placed in the class of carcinogenic chemical compounds after studies showed a definite link between the chemical compound and certain types of cancers and thus has to be mentioned in the ingredients list.

A lawsuit filed by state attorney general’s office of California, states that the company knowingly or unknowingly put the health of salon workers and clients at risk.
